*Official* India Tour of England 2018

Someone on Cricinfo suggested that Rashid bowl less with a cross-seam. I'm inclined to agree because the seam could generate more grip in the pitch and subsequently get more turn, as well as making it easier to coordinate different angles of spin.

Now, I'm starting to get Angry. I'm repeating this, listen carefully now:
Give the ball to Anderson! He needs one more wicket to be the sole owner of an enviable record, and he has bowled just a handful of overs so far.

Not enough cloud cover atm

Pant too scores a fifty. With that added to his arsenal, Ravi the Shastri is going to be insufferable for a couple of days.

 

[cnerd123]

Root's an underrated offie. Has a nice action. His legbreaks aren't that good tho

 

[Borges]

On par with ATVG Moeen Ali, I think.

 

[mr_mister]

They can win this

 

[Shri]

Come on Pant. Get your ton, and then the double.

Even hb wouldn't elevate himself to this level of gambhiring.

That guy was online the other day...sometime during this series.

Lol@ Indian commenters on cricinfo. Such a sad bunch.

150 partnership's up at 4.7 runs an over.

Could India do what SA failed to do?

 

[andmark]

In the previous test, ***** (I think) said that there's always a point in some improbable chases that a batting win looks possible but then a wicket or so changes that. Is this that point?

Required rate is close to 5 already with the new ball to come. It’s not on unless Root bowls Rashid at one end and forgoes the new ball.

The new ball will end things quickly.

Imagine how much more fun this would be to watch if the series was 2-2. Sam Curran ruined cricket.

 

[Cabinet96]

This is all going to end with Mohammed Shami bopping James Anderson over long on for six off the last ball of the match with 15 to win.

After blocking out the previous 3 overs. Important detail.

Ball gets to the boundary quicker?

Does play go on till 6 or 6:30 today (if overs are not complete and India aren't allout)?
